Meters per second explained

Meters per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed or velocity, representing the distance traveled in meters in one second. It is widely used in physics, engineering, and everyday applications to measure how fast an object is moving. As a fundamental unit in the metric system, meters per second provides a precise and universal way to quantify speed or velocity.
